A question for GEF developer: GEF and pure java? [message #93414] Wed, 10 September 2003 12:47 Go to next message

Hi,

I am a newbie for GEF. What I worry about is the future support and the
portability.

One thing I am not very sure: in the GEF Developer FAQ, It mentioned that
"GEF is writtern in pure Java and should run on all operating systems...".

However, in the source code comes with GEF, I can still find that it uses
some packages from java.awt.

Does that mean java.awt package will be supported by Eclipse in the future
on all oprating systems supported by Eclipse?

Thanks
Chengdong

We are using AWT only for geometric utilities. We do not create AWT
controls or widgets.
As far as I know, a "1.3 level Java runtime" includes the AWT packages, on
any platform.

Hi, Randy:

Thanks for the answer.

Will java.awt.geom be available for the future development on Eclipse on
all platform?

BTW, I want to use java.awt.image.BufferedImage on Eclipse, as far as you
can see, is this supported by Eclipse on Mac?

Thanks
Chengdong

That depends :) Eclipse is able to be run on gij and kaffe (at least
that is worked on) and I don't know wether this classes are actually
included in their bootclasspath.

According to the Eclipse Readme, Eclipse depends on the "Java 2 Platform".
The Java 2 Platform includes JFC, which includes AWT.
